Additional Information

Reddit is a community of communities. It's built on shared interests, passion, and trust, and is home to the most open and authentic conversations on the internet. Every day, Reddit users submit, vote, and comment on the topics they care most about. With 100,000+ active communities and approximately 126 million daily active unique visitors, Reddit is one of the internet's largest sources of information. For more information, visit www.redditinc.com . The Community Builders organization exists to empower anyone, anywhere, to create and steer a thriving community. We do that by making community building intuitive, sustainable, and rewarding. That mission sits at the heart of Reddit's long-term health as a platform: a Reddit with more thriving communities is a better Reddit for everyone, and our job is to make sure the path to "thriving" is one any passionate person can actually walk. The Engagement team is where we cultivate Reddit's community growth. We help new communities find their audience and build the kind of momentum that keeps them engaged long after the first few posts. We aim to connect users with content and conversations to which they want to contribute, no matter how niche the topic. Our north star is thriving communities . These are places where moderators are engaged, members keep returning, and content compounds on itself. Getting communities there requires a content flywheel that surfaces the right guidance and tools at the right moment to speed up organic engagement. We use data, ML-powered signals, and product experimentation to identify and remove every barrier standing between a community and sustainable, self-reinforcing growth. This is a Growth team. We move with urgency, instrument everything, and treat a missed activation milestone as a signal to learn from, not a number to ignore. If you want to build systems that measurably change the trajectory of tens of thousands of communities, and improve the health of Reddit itself, this is your team.
